About this event
Four surfers, (three visual artists and a writer) join together at Porthmeor studios, overlooking the beach to co-curate a reflective and speculative exhibition/event. The project gathers and entangles rich and strange flotsam and jetsam of visual forms, salvaged poetry, and sound. The creative thinking of the project has risen through the sharing of surfing sensoria and ecocriticism (environmental concerns) and flows through the exhibition to conjure future visions of the ocean.
Sea Fever was originally a surf art exhibition event at Tate St Ives for its launch programme in 1993 with the participation of Surfers Against Sewage who were founded that year. Our project reflects back to that time of heightened consciousness and environmental activism but brings a current spirit of the abyssal fantastic to this site on Porthmeor Beach.
In conversation with surfing superhero Captain BanPlastic, Mandy Bloomfield, Andy Hughes and Ben Cook contribute drawings, photographs, video and sound work. We are delighted that Captain Ban Plastic has agreed to collaborate, loaning a series of their large-scale drawings which capture their heroic moves through a toxic ocean to save the Planet!
